OIF: the candidacy of the Mauritian JC de L’Estrac got big sized supports

The supports for the candidacy of the Mauritian, Jean Claude de L’ Estrac, at the post of General Secretary of the International Organization of the Francophonie are increasing. About thirty important personalities coming from various horizons are united in a collective behind the Mauritian for « an open, happy and uninhibited Francophonie« .

« We thus believe that this Mauritian candidacy embodied by a personality of multiple talents, expresses the positive synthesis of the world in movement. It is the promise of a mobilizing project for women and men of our countries that await much from a respectful globalization of what they are« , indicated a declaration of the collective.

The supporting committee for the candidacy of Jean Claude de L’ Estrac is composed of eminent Writers, artists and French-speaking thinkers. Some are as listed below:

Jean-Robert Pitte, president of « Société de géographie » and former president of la Sorbonne,

Joël de Rosnay, scientific and writer,

Daniel Vaxelaire, historian and novelist,
